Writing systems or scripts are methods of using written symbols to represent spoken languages.

Broadly there are three types of writing systems:

  • Logographic systems use symbols to represent words.
  • Syllabic systems use symbols to represent syllables.
  • Alphabetic systems use symbols to represent individual sounds.
